One of Point Cook’s most coloured and beloved community events is ready to return bigger and better than ever.
The Wyndham Multicultural Lunar Festival will light up the Point Cook Town Centre with Chinese and dragon dancing, international folk dances and vocal performances.
Vice president and performance manager of the Point Cook Cultural Community (PCCC) Becky Cui said there is something for everyone– and a platform for everyone.
“This festival offers an invaluable platform for local artists to perform in front of a large and enthusiastic audience, while allowing the wider community to experience the beauty of multicultural exchange,” Ms Cui said.
More than 400 performers from over a dozen countries will be strutting their stuff, while street food and local cuisine will round out the culinary side of the equation.
After the stage performance, artists will move to the PCCC booth to demonstrate the ancient art up close and invite the public to experience this remarkable form of tea painting first-hand.
The Tai Chi and Qigong performance will include on-site instruction, encouraging audience members to join in and experience the flow, balance, and wellness of this traditional Chinese practice.
Handcrafts and cultural trinkets will be for sale, and have been made in an environmentally conscious manner.
Family-friendly workshops and cultural activities will also be available throughout the day, offering creative and educational experiences for all ages.
The event is free and runs 11am-7.30pm.
